  • Adam's been using his lathe a lot more recently while improving his machining skills, and has refined his workflow and toolset ecosystem around the machine. And to help him better retrieve the machining tools and accessories he wants in a timely way, Adam is going to build a machinist's toolbox to store everything from flat and thread cutters to steel blanks and boring bars. And surprisingly, it's the first of this kind of storage drawer he's made as a One Day Build!

    "drawers are where things go to die." - Adam Savage a few years ago on this exact channel but this isn't the type of drawer he's talking about, he's talking about cabinet drawers that aren't organized and/or are more then 1 tool deep, not labeled and not purpose built, things with a purpose are infinitely better then anything designed to try to fit as much as possible and look nice,

    • @tiacho2893
      @tiacho2893 4 роки тому +2

      The biggest thing for me is making something reasonably purpose built so it does the job well. But, at the same time, it has to be flexible enough that it can adapt to other uses. I love french fitted tool liners but I made mine modular so I can rearrange things or make another one when tools change (kinda like Adam's Sortimo system). It's not as tidy as one single sheet of foam but scrapping an entire liner when you have to replace one tool is annoying.
      It's like drilling a series of precise holes for drill bits but suddenly needing to fit an odd size (for an odd thread that you suddenly need periodically) in the middle.

    • @raymitchell9736
      @raymitchell9736 4 роки тому +4

      I think in this case he has four factors that make these drawers "useful" #1 they are a collection of like items that belong to the piece of equipment located in the same space instead of three locations separated throughout the shop... #2 they are shallow drawers, one layer deep. If he made them any deeper then you would lose first-order retrieval (or is that second-order since it's inside a cabinet?)... #3 everything has a "home" where it lives and that will make it easier to keep the shop organized both when needing/finding the tool and when cleaning up and putting away said tools... #4 drawers will keep the majority of dust away from the tools... So overall, it's neat.

      it's almost like there's a gradient and things aren't black and white. who knew!
      personally my woodworking shop is too dusty to leave everything out, so I take the machinist approach and put everything in drawers. it's great, but you have to label things and not treat a drawer as a place to throw shit. that's when it all goes to hell

      @@guitarchitectural I build guitars too. But I only use power tools for rough work and don't use a lot of sand paper or power sand. The fine dust just floats and settles everywhere.
      The big thing for me and drawers is that they should only be a bit deeper that the tools they are holding and machinist style tool boxes are best for this. I worked out of standard "handyman's" tool box/tote when I started and I cringe at the thought of sharp edge tools banging around in a deep drawer. Even then, I used a leather tool roll for my few carving tools/chisels and hand planes/measure and marking tools went into custom wooden boxes.

    I love these Shop Infrastructure one day builds. I was taught that if you needed a solution to a problem you just buy the best thing you can find. That never sat well with me, people who know what they're doing fix their own stuff and build their own shops and make what they need. It took me a very long time to build up the skills to be less of a consumer and more of a maker because the information and training just wasn't available to me without some serious time and effort. Now I have a firm moral policy of never buying what I can make, and never settling for a half assed commercial solution to a specific problem. I love that Adam is making it clear in all these videos that you don't have to pay someone else to take care of your stuff, and you don't have to settle for crappy storage solutions when you can design and build exactly what you need, often for a lower cost or maybe even with what you have on hand. Thank you Adam.

  • @bobbyw9046

    Adam, if I might suggest using P-Touch labels next time instead of a paint marker to label drawers. It allows easy re-organization and relabeling without repainting. One other suggestion is that you might want to fasten the tool drawer cabinet to the lower unit so one handed opening and closing is easier.

    Originally Adam mentioned he wanted the drawers so they can be pulled all the way out and still hanging on slides.

    Hi Adam! Great build! And you’re right, organization is always time well spent! Sorry in advance for the length of this, but I learned a lesson the hard way, and my penance for doing so is that I’m required to share. 😉 I once used a small piece of soft chamois leather to protect the lever on my Winchester 9422 from the zipper on its case. Little did I realize that the leather not only can attract moisture if your storage location tends to be at all humid (think southeastern Virginia!), but the material is often (or maybe always?) tanned using one type of acid or another. This may not be a factor for you at all, but as I said, the Universe requires me to say something when I see something... I’d hate for your “tooling treasure trove” to end up in a vat of Evaporust next spring! (HandToolRescue enters the conversation...)😄

    @woodshopsquared3183 Рік тому

    I looked through the comments and didn't see where anyone mentioned this. The two classic ways to make felt lined (or leather) boxes are a bit easier than your process. First is to apply the material to the box/drawer bottom before building the box. This requires a slot that will accommodate both the bottom material and the liner.
    The other way is how you line french fitted boxes and gun cases. You create a template of the opening, crafting one from taped together pieces (such as when fitting a complex shape) then using that template to cut out your final cardboard piece (I often use cereal box cardboard). Template is a bit smaller than the box/shape bottom. Then using contact cement or something similar, the felt/leather is glued to the face and then wrapped around the edge. This piece is then fitted to the opening, this same technique is used to create the sides of the box or opening.
    Love your videos and look forward to more of them.

    • @TheRealObiWahn
      @TheRealObiWahn 4 роки тому +27

      If you are using ply, theres virtually no dimensional change from humidity due to the cross-laminated nature. If I make drawers this way (with all four sides blocked), I tend to put a dab of glue in the rail to prevent chatter.
      It much more counts if you are using solid wood. Usually bottoms are screwed or nailed into the back piece of the drawer and you leave more "dead" space in the front piece rail hidden so the wood can extend.
      You can even calculate how much wood would change: Ply: length / width: 0,015%; thickness 0,3 - 0,4 %; Solid wood (depending on the type of wood): tangential 0,3 - 0,5%; radial 0,15 - 025%; longitudinal: 0,01 - 0,015%
